Argentina: A Long Battle Ahead Against Patriarchy

Over the past decade, Argentina has enacted measures to counter gender segregation at the workplace and reverse the social and cultural patterns that justify it. An increaing number of people call for changing power relationships between men and women and addressing the root causes of gender inequality. Despite recent gains, however, activists say there is still much to be done and that it is a mistake to call for gender equality alone or workers' rights alone. They call for removing androcentric, patriarchal notions that still prevail in large segments of Argentine society. Leo Poblete reports from Buenos Aires for teleSUR.
